the defense would really lay out its case at this stage, we're told, but the defense giving evidence that oscar pistorius talked with reeva steenkamp, his girlfriend, in bed shortly before that shooting took place. there have been many questions before, why didn't he call out to her before? how did he -- why didn't he check that she wasn't in the bathroom? he had said the room was pitch dark, but now we get an indication that he believed she was in bed because he had talked to her there shortly before. we have now just heard from the first witness, a near neighbor, who says that she was awoken by a woman screaming. her husband was woken as well, she says. and then the woman's screaming became more intense. she became really worried because she thought that something terrible was about to happen. then she says she heard four shots, and they went like this, bang, pause, bang, bang, bang. that's how she described it. so, one shot, a bit of a pause, then the following three shots. and this is a neighbor. this as the prosecution laying out their case. they have argued in the past that the
